So Jacob* set out for Egypt with all his possessions. And when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.
2 During the night God spoke to him in a vision.
“Jacob! Jacob!” he called.
“Here I am,” Jacob replied.
3 “I am God,* the God of your father,” the voice
said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt,

MISSIONS
16 The news soon reached Pharaoh’s palace:
“Joseph’s brothers have arrived!” Pharaoh and
his officials were all delighted to hear this.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you must do: Load your pack
animals, and hurry back to the land of Canaan.
18 Then get your father and all of your families,
and return here to me. I will give you the very
best land in Egypt, and you will eat from the best
that the land produces.’”
19 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your
brothers, ‘Take wagons from the land of Egypt
to carry your little children and your wives, and
bring your father here. 20 Don’t worry about your
personal belongings, for the best of all the land
of Egypt is yours.’”
21 So the sons of Jacob* did as they were told.
Joseph provided them with wagons, as Pharaoh
had commanded, and he gave them supplies for
the journey. 22And he gave each of them new
clothes—but to Benjamin he gave five changes
of clothes and 300 pieces* of silver. 23 He also
sent his father ten male donkeys loaded with
the finest products of Egypt, and ten female
donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other
supplies he would need on his journey.
24 So Joseph sent his brothers off, and as they
left, he called after them, “Don’t quarrel about
all this along the way!” 25And they left Egypt
and returned to their father, Jacob, in the land
of Canaan.
26 “Joseph is still alive!” they told him. “And
he is governor of all the land of Egypt!” Jacob
was stunned at the news—he couldn’t believe
it. 27 But when they repeated to Jacob everything Joseph had told them, and when he saw
the wagons Joseph had sent to carry him, their
father’s spirits revived.
28 Then Jacob exclaimed, “It must be true! My
son Joseph is alive! I must go and see him before
I die.”

nation. 4 I will go with you down to Egypt, and I
will bring you back again. You will die in Egypt,
but Joseph will be with you to close your eyes.”
5 So Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took
him to Egypt. They carried him and their little
ones and their wives in the wagons Pharaoh
had provided for them. 6 They also took all their
livestock and all the personal belongings they
had acquired in the land of Canaan. So Jacob
and his entire family went to Egypt—7 sons and
grandsons, daughters and granddaughters—
all his descendants.
8 These are the names of the descendants of
Israel—the sons of Jacob—who went to Egypt:
